Origin of -opia¹

from Greek, from ōps eye

Cnopia is a contraction for Can-Opia; and the temple was certainly founded by people from Egypt.

Why, Eth'opia, I reckon, if she's got a crew of Eth'opians settin' on t'other side of 'er superstructure.

The souls of the living they name goeiz, those of the dead opia.
